But when the former Ole Miss coach was fired after last year's 4-7 finish — the program's first losing season in a decade — it took some of the buildup out of what would have been his return to Knoxville. Cutcliffe, who spent 17 years as an assistant at Tennessee before taking over at Ole Miss in 1998, won't be on the sidelines Saturday when the Rebels (1-2, 0-1 SEC) travel to face the No. 10-ranked Vols (2-1, 1-1) at Neyland Stadium. He will, however, be sitting in a luxury box above the stadium.
